lyrics

hey mama, if you could see it in here you'd be dreaming too. it gets so dark and lonely and cold, it's so easy to be in two. the people here, they're just living lies. they won't own up to their faults, no, they won't even try. hey mama, these walls keep growing so high. its as if ghosts have taken my body and thrown my mind into overdrive. sometimes i want to commit myself to that dark small room, so i can think about how i lie to myself too. hey mama, if you could hear me out there; know that i miss you. i know you said my drinking would bring me down, i never thought it'd wipe you from my view.

lord forgive me, lord forgive me.

mama can't you see, wont you come and rescue me
i ain't going where the clouds are, im falling deep beneath.
swimming with the coral, bleeding blood for sharks to feed.
mama i ain't ready to be a man, i'm drowning in my sheets with ease.
take me to the place where the dark captain sails so I can be in peace.

hey mama, if you could see it in here you would hate it too. would you still love me? even though i did such horrible things to you. im swimming with the fish and the mermaids too... there ain't no cars or trees to obstruct my view, its just an aura of golden bliss from me to you. hey mama, it's getting cold and now im coughing too. ive got a puddle of blood beside me and now im coming home to you.

lord forgive me, lord forgive me.

mama can't you see, wont you come and rescue me
i ain't going where the clouds are, im falling deep beneath.
swimming with the coral, bleeding blood for sharks to feed.
mama i ain't ready to be a man, i'm drowning in my sheets with ease.
take me to the place where the dark captain sails so I can be in peace.
i said, take me to the place where the dark captain sails so I can be in peace.take me to the place where the dark captain sails so I can be in peace.
